1951 Map of Mineral Springs South

About this map

Saline Landing and the winding course of the Saline River define this corner of Southwest Arkansas at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The landscape is marked by the industrial infrastructure of the Graysonia Nashville and Ashdown railroad, which services the small settlements of Mineral Springs, Schaal, and the company town of Okay, where a Quarry is located. The area is dense with community landmarks that provide significant value for genealogists, including the County Training School near Tollette, and several rural houses of worship such as Blackland Ch and Bright Star Ch. To the south, Saratoga sits near the county line, while the northern terrain transitions into the Buck Range. Extensive drainage networks like Blue Bayou and Dillard Creek carve through the various townships, illustrating the transition from upland ridges to the river bottomlands.
